I've read about a couple of golf-cart DWIs, including a funny case where a drunk was sitting in the passenger seat steering while a sober blind man sat behind the whell.

My slightly faulty memory forgot that this incident took place in another state: http://www.wbko.com/news/headlines/7030607.html

Yes. Anyone who is legally driving a vehicle can have a loaded hangun concealed within reach. Technically, you can carry it on your person while in the vehicle, but it's not legal to get out of the vehicle in a public place carrying the handgun.

The owner of the vehicle can have a handgun in it while not driving.

There is some weird case law in this area. Being on a motorcycle is the same as being in a motor vehicle for most legal purposes.

People have also been found guilty of DUI while riding a horse.

I don't see how doing something that is completely legal could jeopardize getting your CHL.

Even if you think, as some do, that certain police offficers will attempt to enforce the old law, how often are you searched by the police? I haven't been searched in more than 30 years. I haven't been stopped for a traffic offense in more than 25.
